“No one models with more conviction than Linda. Her secret, I think, is that she has never been bored by modeling, and never seen it as a stepping stone to another career.”
Anna Wintour
“Linda probably loves modeling more than anyone I know. That’s why we all love looking at pictures of her.”
Amber Valletta
"To the kids in my salon, the ones that are from nineteen to 25, Linda’s the icon. It's like Oh, God, Linda Evangelista's coming in. Did you ever meet her? She's like their big movie star. She's their dream."
John Galliano
“Linda Evangelista is always beautiful, even when she's screaming. She'll have her mouth open, her nose crinkled up, and she looks gorgeous.”
Tyra Banks
"When she was very young she was too cute. She found her style later and worked on it as no other model has. Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer got things easily. Linda had to fight and I like fighters - even if it gives the reputation of not being so nice. Who cares? I have the same reputation in mu filed but I am not sure that I worked so hard as Linda."
Karl Lagerfeld, (Vogue UK)
"C'est (Linda) une faiseuse d'images. Elle se projette, sans jamais se mettre à la place du photographe."
Dominique Issermann, French Elle, 2003
